This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a Bolt Action game. German infantry and AT guns, reinforced later by a Tiger, defend a crossroads against Soviet tanks, infantry and mortars. Our host provided a great terrain table as usual.
Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a game of Gutshot, in which seven tough gunslingers defended a western town from bandits. We played through the game twice. Each time the town was saved, but not without some highly cinematic deaths among the gunslingers. One player learned that playing with dynamite is dangerous.
On March 22nd the local HMGS-South group played a Starship Troopers game.
Three scientists required evacuation by Mobile Infantry when their lab was attacked by the Arachnids. The initial defense consisted of robots and mercenaries which were nearly wiped out by the time the infantry arrived in two dropships.
The scientists were rescued, at the cost of one dropship and most of the troopers, mercs and robots.
This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a medieval castle assault game using the Tactica Medieval rules. It was quick and fun so we did it twice. In each case the defender’s heroic resistance was in vain.
On Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a dark age skirmish game using SAGA rules at the Dogs of War shop. This four-player game pitted the Saxons defending a village against two allied Viking warbands intent on loot. A Norman warband arrives to support the Saxons.
In terms of combat the game was fairly even, but the Vikings left with enough loot to call it a victory.
